  Offerings at Christian Church's

  by goofy in

  what do you think about offerings or collection plates being passed at church's?

  i sometimes go to this christian church and they pass a plate.

  being raised a witness, i sometimes get a weird feeling that they are doing something wrong and it bothers me?

  What are your experiences of dating in the truth?

  by goofy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really never dated that much inside the orgainisation because of a lack of available brothers.

  the couple of times i did not great.

  i once asked a brother out and it was all over the congregation as to how inappropriate that was since it should be the man who does the asking.

  Nina, that is such a nice story of how you met your husband. Irish and Italian, now that's a mix. I understand the kissing situation, lol, I never was kissed until I was 22, pretty sad, huh? But you know, you don't kiss someone you do not intend to marry. Lol

  I seemed to always find the guy who would desperately want to do the deed but was to scared to make the first move. I was to shy myself. When I did start dating again in the world, my then boyfriend told me that when it came to the sexual aspects of the relationship that he felt he was back at "sweet 16" he felt it strange that a woman my age was so scared to just let loose a little. I think as women in the organization we are taught from birth to be closed off. I guess all new thoughts take time.

  I have heard from Brothers that sometimes the sisters can be so desperate they are actually easier to get to than outside ladies (not all of course)

  Posted in another thread but need to share this b/c it still upsets me

  sorry for being so self indulgent...i've been meaning to post this but had reached my limit, so i put it in another thread.. this still upsets me.

  i don't know why it should...perhaps because i am, as my ex-husband stated, self-absorbed and childish.. but as part of my therapy, i present to you..... the car.

  i don't drive and never have.

There seems to be a lot of desparate sisters out there. I always wanted to be in a relationship almost to the point of being obsessed with finding a brother, when I was in the truth, now that I am out, I am happy to be single and almost run from relationships. What are you stories?

  I am very interested in learning more about Jesus away from Watchtower teachings, but man, I just can't keep my mind that attentive for such a long post. Please, make little posts and then I will read and think. Goofy

  What is the worst thing about leaving?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  everyone probably has a slightly different experience when leaving the witnesses.the worst aspect about this for me is the realisation that my enteire life has been lived and directed by a false premiss, and the effect past decisions now have on my life.. it can make me feel sick in the stomach on occation.. also the idea that friends and family think i have tuned bad or evil to have left jehovah is qute disturbing at times.

  Day One After Armageddon

  by Shakita in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was looking at a pro jw site and i couldn't believe what i stumbled upon.

  someone with a really good sense of humor posted a story about his take on day one after armageddon.

  it goes to show the egocentricity of the jw's.

  Blondie thanks for posting your story. It was 9/11 which really got me thinking about how I believed. I left for other reasons but when 9/11 came and I could not stop crying or having nightmare for months after seeing those planes crash into the buildings and listenning to songs I realised that Armageddon would destroy, should I survive. Two buildings and 6000 people destroyed me inside and forever changed me, and I knew noone personally, I cannot even imagine watching the whole world, and my coworkers and friends and then being happy. Just me.
